Which is probably because only the latest version is actually boxed for sale. As you're doing a new install anyway, why not go for 13.1?
Because there seems to be a lot of argument about various features in 13.1 and because a new number release always seems to have a bunch of bugs that get fixed later. And because it took DAYS to download the file and it was broken. My connection speed is fine (in the neighborhood of 10 Mb/s) but the download process was a complete failure.
Oh good grief... do NOT base your decision on the trolls that have been busy gleefully poisoning the mailing list these last two weeks. They are just trolling the regulars and complaining because their highly customized openSUSE installs which fight things at every turn doesn't work - and not much wonder with all the effort they spend intentionally breaking things. openSUSE 13.1 is a LOT better than 12.3 - not to say 12.3 is bad, but. seriously.. please do not think that the trolling here is indicative of real actual problems with 13.1. It's a rock solid release.
That would be fine, but I just don't have a year to wait for a download. I can buy a computer on-line and have it delivered to my door in two days. Why can't SuSE manage to offer the same and for 12.X which the website says is still supported?
What mirror are you using? I download the 13.1 iso in under an hour on my connection and it's not much better than yours. If it's taking that long to download on a 10Mbit connection, there's a problem with the mirror you're using, not openSUSE.
